Sex Education

MUNDELEIN — Jon Margolis chooses to denigrate the Kinsey New Report On Sex with humor and concludes that a little knowledge is usually enough, and who cares anyway? Well, we should all care! And a little knowledge is often not enough!

U.S. News & World Report for Sept. 17 states that only a little more than half of today`s teenagers are exposed to sex-education classes and that about 12 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections occur every year.

Education about sexuality will not eliminate disease or unplanned pregnancies, but it could go a long way in minimizing both.
